I would not hesitate to try Bravecto then.

I thought my vet said heart guard. I must have heard heart worm and just made it heart guard in my head brain.

It can get confusing with all of the products that are offered.

I'll give another vote for the Soresto collar. I bought one and it works great. It takes a couple days to take ahold but after that you are good to go. You can also get them at Walmart cheaper, like 54 bucks or something.

Good information for the most part here. I have switched from Trifexis to Interceptor and Nexgard. My dog readily eats them, with trifexis I had to drag him from under the bed and cram it down his throat. He hated it.
Bravecto is good too.
I am still on the fence with proheart. When it came out initially there was some concerns with renal and hepatic toxicity. I think they've straightened it out. My problem is that it has a limited shelf life once reconstituted and last I checked a vial was about $900 bucks. I can't have that kinda money expiring on my shelf. I do love the fact it increases compliance. I hate heartworms. Gonna have to look into whether I think it's worth it or not.

If walmart has them that cheap, then I need to start getting my supply from walmart.

We use bravecto with flawless results

Better head to the Walmart then. $54.99

Yep, further proof that vets are money hungry son of a bitches.

The Soresto collars work. Got it at Wally World for a little over $50.

You just got married and she already has you on Trifexis? Didn't she know you had fleas before the wedding?



SouthBamaSlayer- Trifexis.

Same here. I had to force the trifexis down his throat. He eats the Nexgard with no problem like it is a treat.

I had a 3 year old Golden Retriever die of renal failure after taking Trifexis for 3 months. I don't know if it was the Trifexis but I will not use it again, just in case. I switched to Interceptor, for heart worms and Bravecto, for flea and ticks, about 2 years ago. Not a single tick or flea since, on 2 Goldens and 1 Lab. Bravecto is a 12 weeks dose.

Another vote for Bravecto. I use it for my Labrador and it performs better than any others I've used in the past.

to op, are you sure the dog isnt throwing it up after you give it to him. That would cause it not to work. I always give at least an hour or 2 after they eat to prevent sickness. Sometimes i give them half one day and half the next.

i think they use to have a med with hart-guard and confortis, but discontinued it.

I've been using trifexis in summer and hartguard in cooler months.

As previously mentioned Comfortis(spinosad) and HeartGard(ivermectin) do not play nicely with each other.

As for vomiting trifexis. I spoke to a vet from Elanco and they have researched it. If the dog vomits it in the first hour after ingestion, they recommend redosing. After an hour, they have absorbed the active ingredients and do not need another dose.

Not that I am aware of. I make sure she has eaten before giving it to her. But she hates it and will not eat it, even in a treat. I have to force feed it to her and then watch to make sure she doesn't throw it up. Kind of why I was seeing if there may be something else.

if i give trifexis one month, how long would i have to wait to safe to give hartguard?

If you're giving trifexis, there is no need to give heartgard. Milbemycin oxime covers the same spectrum of parasites as ivermectin.

if i give tri one month is it safe to give nex the next month?
